You dim all the lights so you look real wise
As they trace the lines underneath your eyes
And mistake your charm for a cosmic sign
Now, now

I can’t put it on them, it’s his best trick
And they’re taking the bait just like I did

She looks
Like all of your girls but blonder
A little like me, just younger
Bet she loves when she hears you say
«You’re so mature for your age, babe»
She looks
Like she could be your daughter
Like me before I got smarter
When I was flattered to hear you say
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”

Watched the tide rise up as high as you got on me
Listening to Strawberry Letter 23
I hid my car at Carbon Beach so I wasn’t seen at yours
You knew better of course

Oh, you’re so mature
You’re so mature
Oh

She looks
Like all of your girls but blonder
A little like me, just younger
Bet she loves when she hears you say
«You’re so mature for your age, babe»
She looks (She looks)
Like she could be your daughter
Like me before I got smarter
When I was flattered to hear you say
«You’re so mature for your age, babe»

Watched the tide rise up as high as you got on me
Listening to Strawberry Letter 23
I hid my car at Carbon Beach so I wasn’t seen at yours
You’re so mature for your age, babe

Video for ‘Mature’ by Hilary Duff

The video begins with Hilary in a glam roomalready dressed up to go on stage, but giving herself a few minutes to get into character in front of the Hollywood-style mirror, as she will perform the song in a shiny gold dress lying on a sculptural flower with white petals and then approach the microphone and sing facing the audience. But among the hundreds of red seats, only one is occupied by a larger version of herself dressed in a dark, opaque outfit, who leaves the theater before the performance ends to get some fresh air and release a small monarch butterfly with a relieved expression.
